She's a Kleptomaniac Foodie!

I had some mixed feelings on this page. I like the composition and layout of the page and all, it just doesn't stand on its own very well. One page not standing on its own is fine for long form stories and graphic novels I guess, but when it's a weekly webcomic it can be obnoxious to read and leave people disappointed. Cricket's Creature is certainly a long form story, but is it more of a weekly webcomic or a graphic novel? At this point I'm not really sure, then again I might just be being neurotic as usual.

Speaking of "mixed feelings," after a lot of consideration I'm going to start uploading another of my minicomics to Arbitrary Comix. It's kind of an old one but a lot of people seemed to like it, I just wasn't sure if it was a good idea to post it on DD or not.
As my room mate pointed out, Cricket's kind of a jerk on this page.

@usedbooks: Cricket might be willing to bargain for some things, probably not this though. Whether she feels some guilt over her brother or not, she's actually starting to like Creature. I know what you mean by the 2am brain clog… I have that most of the day!
@magickmaker: Yeah, as you've pretty much got Higgins pegged! Thank you, and everyone else for the vote of confidence even though I didn't win. Scorch ended up winning, although I think I can live with being beaten by the best. Honestly, I'm glad to have been in the same category such stellar comics. I'm not really seriously putting myself down, self-deprecation is how I find humor in situations!
@Trevor: So are stage dives!
@amanda: I guess he's a little bit like a puppy. And yes, much more polite than most dogs. If you remember earlier in the comic Cricket says that he reminds her of a dog that she used to have named "Creature" which is where she got the name. Curiously when I first drew Creature I wasn't thinking of a dog at all. I thought of a cross between a cat, a monkey, and an insect.
@cda: Thanks for reading!
@Freakenburger: Oh, Higgins doesn't make threats. He makes promises! And yes, it will be a rough time for Cricket!
@Brogan: Thanks!
@Peipei: Civilized people are actually kind of brutal. Let's just say that Higgins didn't get where he is by being pleasant and forgiving!
@Warped: I'll get on forming a union for our cause! …later….

    Well, I guess that Sainte Loraine's extraterrestrial crimes rate just increased… Great page, as usual! Sorry for the late comment, but I'm in a contest and it's making me lack the time to do stuff…XD

    Page looks good to me.. 2nd panel is very nice.

    Cricket's normally leaning towards jerky behavior, so I guess her manner here doesn't really surprise me. She just knows how to create a good distraction =D Years of practice no doubt. And yay, more mini-comics! That will be cool to see.

    hahaha I love lentil soup :p i had it for lunch yesterday actually xD. Sometimes, you gotta do what you gotta do to get by, even if it means stealing :s.

    Awe. Creature's learning how to steal. ^_^ Cricket's such a good role model. XD
